2. Dabbing
Dabs also produce vapor instead of smoke. Unlike the previous option, though, they use highly potent cannabis concentrates.
Concentrates often have upwards of 80% THC, whereas buds generally remain at 10–30%. You typically take a single hit to feel it, and the high lasts 1–3 hours.
Dabs will look familiar to bong users. These devices have a water chamber and a mouthpiece after a long neck. Instead of the bowl for buds, there’s a nail for the concentrate. You heat it, and vapor travels into the chamber before reaching your lungs.
Since concentrates come in multiple varieties, the dabbing experience is versatile. You can use hash oil, wax, honey, or live resin.
3. Inhalation
Cannabis inhalers offer the best way to consume marijuana and get high fast while protecting your lungs. They’re small, cylindrical, button-operated, and similar to asthma devices.
Inhalers act as bronchodilators, medical tools that relax your throat and airways. Several studies suggest they might be very beneficial for asthma patients.
These devices release small puffs of THC and CBD distillates right into your throat. They’re uncomplicated and unobtrusive, emitting zero smell and raising no eyebrows. Cartridges are available at some dispensaries.
This consumption method delivers a pure dose of cannabinoids to your system, making it fast-acting. The potency depends on your cartridge selection, and the buzz lasts around an hour.
4. Edibles
Pot brownies are the face of edibles and remain the best way to consume weed for sweet tooth tokers. They’re far from the only ingestible form of marijuana, though.
Dispensaries stock various edibles, from cookies and chocolates to delta-8 gummies. Cooking enthusiasts can also make them at home using cannabinoid-infused oil, butter, or honey.
Since edibles first go to your stomach, it takes longer to feel them. The effects usually kick in after 45 minutes, so stay patient and stick to the suggested doses.
This method offers a longer-lasting high than most. The experience usually peaks around the fourth hour. Most tokers report a gradual effect onset.
